New skill. That I made up :)

Ok ok, so from my experience from Maplestory

Mages have this skill called Magic Guard in which whenever its activated 80% of the damage you take is taken off of mp and you yourself only take 20% of the damage.

I know this would be cheap if everyone had it so I was thinking you start out taking 80% dmg and using mp to buffer the other 20% and as you lvl up the skill the % changes to 20% and 80%.

I think this would be really useful for nukers.

Your thoughts?

im not really sure what your trying to say...

OK OK, so basically its a buff where every time you take dmg from a monster, you only take 20% of that and the rest is taken away from your mp.

So say you took 100dmg from a yeowa.

If you had magic guard on, your hp would decrease by 20 while your mp would decrease by 80.

Wouldn't that be unfair to STR builds?

Make it so that if you use this buff, you can't nuke.. :p

But then I guess str builds can use it too.

Its just weaker for str builds becaues of the skills int attributes.

If str builds had the same skill as int, then it would be the exact same as it is now.

Make the str version a bit weaker and ints have some chance when it comes to dueling.

arn't nukers and str eventually equal [or so i've heard] in high levels?

woudn't this make nukers way overpowered?

I don't know.. It just sounds too one sided for me.. So PRO INT builds..

I think Pure Int and Str builds are equal..

Str builds have higher HP but lower damage.
Int builds have lower HP but higher damage.

This skill would mean that Int builds can take more than or equal damage than Str builds.. Thus, an unfair skill. ^_^

For everybody who doono what he actually wants to say, here is a little explanation:

The magic that he wants to be added in game is Mana Shield, it absorbs a % (percentage) of dmg into mana. Some of you could know it from Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.

The idea is not bad, but it's also way too powerful. In WoW there is a balance, for example mages can not have soo much mana so that they are invincible (ccan take no HP dmg) with this magic. But if here a int. builder would use this with a lot of MP potions... That would be too strong.

Actually the first time I encountered this type of skill was in the original Diablo. And we have several skills like this: mountain shield, fire wall, ice wall. You just can't move while using them.

Mehh, just a thought lol.

@Kitary. Lol. Yes I know MapleStory = bad. but just a game when I don't feel like playing SRO. Music is so corny and yet addicting.

but silkroad isn't the type of game where you have skills like for xx seconds you have + xx % dmg ( attribute str )
If you want those skills go play guild wars or wow

Since pure str does lower damage does that mean they have disadvantages killing monsters/people? Or do they just do lower damage than nukers cause im going full str and i dont wanna get pwned by every monster/person i see

This sounds like a good idea too me. But.. that is just because I am very pro INT.

@M4d3d1nch1n4: What level, server, and version of MS are you on? I used to player gMS with a Lv 31 and a Lv 48 on jMS! Woot Japanese verion FTW!

Add a skill that lets you use skills using HP, but make the skills cost twice as much... :roll:

I dont think that the game is balanced cauz when a STR char
do a critical hit they can actually do more damage them a INT...

Misaklo · **Joined:** Mar 2006 **Posts:** 1508 **Location:**

actually this skill would be self balancing for int characters, pretty useless for str though. becasue if a str build crit you, or just hit yyou or wtv, the next hit would pretty much wipe out your MP, thus you are totally weak.

well thats how i saw it.

It's in loads of games, i dunno where it is from, but the oldest place with it is ragnarok online, in which there are several cards(which are like gems in d2 in which u socket em into items) that move damage into ur mp instead of hp, and i THINK that the wiz has a skill for it as well... energy coat i think it was called...

killun must be like. god. or something. cus he can raise the dead.

The coat would actually make int players out of mp like misaklo said..
in ms, for example getting hit by a c.log would pretty much wipe out all mp so you cant attack..sorta pointless, survive but no attack, no tele
btw ms = the sux0rz. cant believe i played either.. :banghead:
